After basically throwing everything at this Palm it looks like we are back on track. Treated internally with a time release Bayer product that I put around the base of the palm to kill any type of insect possibly infesting the palm, mixed borax in water and water base of palm for possible boron deficiency, sprayed the disfigured fronds with hydrogen peroxide for possible fungus. The results are in the pictures. One frond never opened and looks like club not visible in picture. The the other opened with the top part of the frond staying crimped and bent and the third frond is opening like normal . There is already a spear with a new frond starting and it looks perfect. So I combined all the suggestions I received on here and the Old Man is on the way to recovery.. thank you everyone for the help.
